Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Gutierrez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to provide findings. LPA met with Licensee, Kristian Watson. Licensee accompanied LPA during tour of facility both inside and outside. LPA discussed the allegation and took a census. During the course of the investigation LPA interviewed staff, children, witnesses, obtained police reports and reviewed facility records. Based on the interviews conducted it was determined when Child #1 (C1) would become physically aggressive to either themselves or to other children in care, the licensee would place C1 in a highchair until they calmed down and were no longer a threat to themselves or other children in care. Although the intent in using this high chair was to protect C1 and other children in care, this high chair was solely utilized as a method of restraint and not for the intended purpose.
